Alumni Reunion Weekend
Inviting all School of Music alumni from near and far!
We welcome you back to campus to reconnect with fellow alumni. Mix and mingle at the dinner party on Friday, attend concerts, fun activities, or a campus tour, perform on the Phillip T. Young Recital Hall stage in an “Open Mic” concert.
